U.S school Blogs


The First U.S blog i found was from a 6th grade English teacher in Georgia. The 6th Graders come to this site and answer questions pertaining to things they read, like the first assignment to write about there summer reading books. Their teacher Mrs. Osteen helps other teachers incorporate technology into their schooling as well, seeing that she has been a teacher for 21 years i think she knows whether using blogs works or not. She uses this blog to help improve student communication skills with other students and help them collaborate with others.

The second example of blogs used in the classroom i found was in Wayne Illinois. This blog is a class blog in which the teacher uploads pictures ans messages from the whole class. She has uploaded a slide show of her class for viewers to see. this is another way in which you can show students about computers, by example. She has mad a class blog that they can go onto as a class and the teacher she them how to create one and upload picture. This is safer for a second grade class because they are still a little to young to be able to use a computer on their own.
